Winther, 1330 Arnold Drive, Suite 142, Martinez CA 94553 and Kristopher Kaiser, 1330 Arnold Drive, Suite 142, Martinez, CA 94553.

BACKGROUND:

The Board of Supervisors has received correspondence from the Law Offices of Al Warren Hoslett and Pamela A. Forbus, representing the Board of Trustees of Reclamation District No. 2026 (Webb Tract). Ms. Forbus, as Assistant Secretary for this District, has respectfully requested that the Board of Supervisors make the appointments of Mr. Winther and Mr. Kaiser in lieu of elections. These appointments will fill open seats on the District's Board of Trustees. Correspondence from the law firm states that nominating petitions were filed for each nominee on September 10, 2015 and the number of petitions did not exceed the number of offices to be filled. Notice pursuant to Water Code 50741 was published on September 28, 2015 advising that no election would be held in the District for the vacancies on the Board of Trustees.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The proposed nominees for the Reclamation District's Board of Trustees would not be appointed.
